My husband and I rented condos for vacations from Kathy Nesbitt vacations for many years. I accepted a job transfer to Florida so we asked the office for an agent referral. Unknowingly it turned out Nesbit does real estate too. Lol. We spoke to Jeff initially and started working with Carmen immediately while we were in Michigan. She sent us listings from the network and we tweaked our criteria until we made a short list. Carmen worked hard to find us "the house".
She was great at communicating and giving us many options to choose from. Oh did I mention we were under a terrible time crunch to find a house in under a months time? Carmen came through for us with flying colors and we are very happy with our new home. Being new to the area Jeff and Carmen provided a lot of answers to questions and information from their years of experience and vast contacts in the area.

RE: John Chappelle Since we were buying a second home from another state, we personally didn't know a local realtor so we had to rely on referrals and reviews. John fit all of our boxes. Seldom. do I find a business professional who goes above and beyond their job description. John Truly went way above and beyond for us. He went bat for us on several occasions. We knew he had our best interest at heart and he was definitely in our corner.
He was a straight shooter from the get go, which is what we wanted. He was not only upfront and honest, but most of all, knowledgeable about the type of property we wanted to purchase; not your normal purchase! He was quick to answer texts and emails, even sitting at a lunch meeting we interrupted. John made this purchase from another state quite easy, and if I could give him more than 5 stars, I would, he definitely earned them.
